-------------------------------
Summary: GSoC: Implement OCR/Tika to standardize text input for
cTAKES
Key: CTAKES-189
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-189
Project: cTAKES
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 3.0-incubating
Reporter: Pei Chen
Fix For: 3.2
I am proposing to have a component in cTAKES that is capable of taking in
various types of content (PDF, Scanned JPG's, Word, XLS, TXT, etc.), extracting
the text content before passing it on to cTAKES for NLP processing.
There are currently open source libraries such as TIKA, JavaOCR as a starting
point but I have not found a centralized lib that also incorporates all of the
above including OCR into the flow easily.
